Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has raised alarms about nuclear escalation risks in Ukraine, calling for diplomacy amid growing global tensions. In a bombshell interview with Tucker Carlson released Friday, Lavrov warned that ‘a nuclear war cannot be won’ but accused Western officials of flirting with dangerous rhetoric about limited strikes.
The FM slammed NATO’s eastward expansion as a driving force behind the crisis, arguing that Russia’s security concerns were ignored for decades. ‘We’ve always opposed this,’ he said, emphasizing Moscow’s push for a ‘rules-free world order’ over U.S.-led dominance.
While reaffirming Russia’s openness to talks, Lavrov cautioned that ‘any miscalculation could spiral out of control’—pointing to a 2022 pledge by nuclear-armed nations to avoid catastrophic conflict.
As Gen Z grapples with the stakes of modern geopolitics, Lavrov’s blunt message serves as a grim reality check: the world’s future may hinge on whether global powers choose diplomacy over brinkmanship.
